It's been longer than I would have liked, but with the motor and ESC issues sorted out I'm working on the repairs. A few more hours and I should be ready to fly again. With the old motor I had to add nose weight which drove the weight to 9 oz, with the new motor AUW is about 9.3 ounces, but no nose weight is required and I don't think I'll have any troubles with a heavy tail.

Hey SteveM.Just wondering about glue. What are you using and why. I'm a bit tired of saving time during the build with ca and then getting bit later on during the sanding stages. Anybody else have preferences? What and why and where.

This particular model was built almost exclusively with PVA wood glue. I did use a little epoxy on the landing gear and canopy glue for the canopy. I cheated on the motor mount rebuild and used thick and medium CA. I'm allergic to the stuff so I had the window open and was standing in front of it for several minutes, at least it was 40F or so. Glues are like vehicles, you have different types for different purposes and within each group people have different preferences. There are some good discussions on this topic so rather than ramble on here I'll direct you to this thread over at the Guillow's forum.
